Claridge beige coffee table

A coffee table with a reversible tray is an idea we have already seen. Rarely as well executed. The Claridge coffee table in Beige version offers two faces: travertine ceramic on one side, black glass on the other. Two atmospheres, two moods, one table. At 130 cm long for 80 cm deep and 35 cm high, it is part of the most common format of the contemporary living room, the one that gets along with almost all sofas without crushing the space. Its gilded beige lacquered iron structure, with these rounded amounts at the angles that support both the upper tray and the glazed lower tray, gives it a silhouette both light and built. 71.5 kg on the scale: the weight of a high-end living room coffee table that does not vibrate, do not scrape the ground, does not move at the first knee. And this plateau 14 cm thick total, visible profile, which really changes the perception that we have from the room from the sofa.

A design that immediately attracts the look

What retains attention first, it is not the subjects, it is the structure. The four gilded beige lacquered iron uprights are not straight: they curved slightly at the corners, creating a rounded transition between the vertical foot and the edge of the tray. This design detail changes everything to the overall perception of the table. Without him, we would have a classic, functional and unsurprising rectangular table. With him, the Claridge takes a revisited art deco character, somewhere between the Palace cabinet of the 30s and the sleek contemporary design. The upper travertine ceramic tray, in its beige-hot gray tones and slightly striated texture, contrasts with the golden heat of the structure. Below, the black smoked glass tray gives access to additional storage or presentation space, visible through the glass. And when we return the main plate, it is this black glass face that takes over, completely transforming the atmosphere of the table: more graphic, more contemporary, more sharp. Two tables for the price of one, without the slightest compromise on the quality of each of the two faces.

Why choose this model for your interior?

• Reversible travertine / black glass ceramic tray: Two radically different finishes on a single table. We change the atmosphere of the living room depending on the season, the desire or the new color of the couch, without changing furniture.
• A golden beige lacquered iron structure with rounded angles: This detail of form, subtle but decisive, gives the Claridge a singular character that we do not find in the classic rectangular bass tables. It is he who makes it acknowledged.
• A plateau of 14 cm of total thickness: Seen from profile from the sofa, this thickness gives the table a strong visual presence, that of the furniture constructed to last and to be seen as much as used.
• Artisanal manufacture at 71.5 kg: This weight guarantees daily stability that no light coffee table can offer. She stays where she was asked, supports 80 kg load, and does not ring hollow when you put a book on it.
• A glass of safety on the lower plate: The black smoked glass plateau is made of a secure glass. A technical detail that says a lot on the level of design requirement, beyond what we see at first glance.

In which room install this coffee table?

The living room is its natural space, and it works remarkably well facing a natural fabric sofa: linen, cotton thick, corduroy in neutral shades. In travertine ceramic version, the Claridge dialogue perfectly with the hot and organic interiors, the sand-terracotta-green sage pallets, the clear oak flooring or natural stone floors. What works particularly well is to let it breathe: no carpet too loaded below, no excess decorative objects on the tray. A ceramic sculpture, some design books laid flat, a simple vase. Just what it takes for the table to stay readable. In black glass version, it changes registry: more sharp, more graphic, it gets better with more contrasting interiors, black metal, dark walls, a deep velvet sofa. This ability to change identity according to the chosen face is precisely what makes it adaptable to very different interiors, without ever appearing off topic.

An ideal choice for an affirmed decoration

The Claridge Beige Coffee Table solves a problem that we did not know that we had: the coffee table that we would like to change without having to change it. With its reversible tray, it offers two identities in a single piece of furniture, which is in itself a form of rare design intelligence in high-end living room furniture. Its gilded beige lacquered iron structure at the rounded angles ensures a timelessness that tables with too marked finishing can not guarantee: in five years, in ten years, this hot shade and this form of form will always be as coherent as today. Its artisanal manufacture, its real weight of 71.5 kg and the quality of its materials, ceramic, acking glass, treated iron, make it a piece of furniture that will not replace any soon soon. Not because it will be necessary to keep it, but because we will have no reason to part with it.
